Bob,
Did you mean that the dipstick is behind the wheel?Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing
I was searching radio channels on the way home and heard the last two or three laps of the NASCAR race to hear Jr. win it.
Congrats to him and the Hendrick Team.

I personally want to give Donna & Jim a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for the birthday cake for everyone. Even tho it was delivered in a HONDAAAAA it was still darn good and such a big surprise!! I want all of you to know that a lot of people pay an awful lot of good money for this kind of amusement. So Tux, go ahead and send all the gag gifts you want my way (30 hours and still going strong!). It's nice to be more popular than most of our politicians. Thanks to everyone for making this a spectacular week-end. You just can't get enough of this kind of fun. Had to park the Vette and get on a hot tractor and cut hay all day Monday, then raked and baled today. Forgot I didn't have 6 speeds?! Terry, hope you're practicing "Catch Phrase" for the next cruise-in!! See you in the pits.  Butch

Wow! It sounds like I (and many others) missed a hell of a weekend!
I'd sure like to hear some of the details of Tux's list!

I'm not a fig plucker nor a fig pluckers son, but I'll pluck the figs till the fig plucker comes.

I know a row of ten of these tongue twisters we used as a drinking game man that was a long time ago.

SIZE-O-METER:  Size; as in TO GAUGE, to measure, distance and girth
   "O"; as in surprise,  as in  startling METER; as in to add up, to feed, a unit of measure. 

SIZE O METER- a unit of measure that you feed to gauge its girth and size which makes one scream in startling surprise "O"

   If you think that fig plucker was bad, you should have been around when a bunch of us guys were discussing the proper procudure of doing the laundry. We could all agree on how to restore a Vette, but could not agree on how to do the wash. Go figure.

   Butch, we appreciate you kindness about the birthday cake, but we can not take the credit for it. It was someone else's idea. The Honda was for delivery purposes only. (Comes in handy once in awhile, don't it)

Hey Jim,
Isn't that what Red Green says, "If the girls can't find you good looking, at least they can find you handy"?
The birthday party was such a great team effort..and a real surprize!

Thanks Larry but that's not the way I recited that poem at The Cruise-in, (and I was stone cold sober). I would show you but this is a family site.LOL
 
Also if I would have had you and your size-o-meter definition there with me , it wouldn't have taken so long for all those "Ding Dongs" to guess it in a game of Catch Phrase.Confused
